Hibernian signs raft of sponsors for Premiership return

Hibernian has signed Italian sportswear manufacturer Macron as its new kit supplier, while the Scottish Premiership football club has also renewed a shirt sponsorship agreement with betting company Marathonbet, and agreed a new deal with gin distiller Eden Mill.

Macron has agreed a three-year deal, covering the 2017-18 to 2019-20 seasons, with the recently promoted club. It replaces Nike in the role.

Marathonbet, which has sponsored Hibernian for the past three years, has agreed a new two-season deal with the Edinburgh-based club.

Marathonbet’s branding will continue to feature on the front of the club’s shirts as part of the agreement.

Eden Mill has agreed a one-year deal to have its branding appear on the back of the club’s jerseys for the 2017-18 season.

Financial terms of the deals were not disclosed, but the club said the partnerships are “significant and reflect both the club’s status and its return to the Premiership”.
